Gun laws I don't understand why the government is trying to pass so many new restrictions on owning guns. Law-abiding citizens do not buy guns to go on shooting sprees. We use our guns how they were meant to be used. We have them for home protection, we go to the shooting range with other friends who enjoy shooting or we go hunting. Adding all these gun laws is a violation of our Second Amendment right to bear arms. I understand why our elected officials think it is necessary to add these additional gun laws.

The battle between the Cubs and the rooftop owners has been one of the more entertaining sideshows of this century, reaching a fever pitch since the Rickettses unveiled their plans last spring for a $300 million renovation of Wrigley Field. Over the years, it has been difficult for many to find a rooting interest in this made-for-Chicago soap opera. On one side stood the faceless corporation, Tribune Co., and Cubs President Andy MacPhail, before the billionaire Ricketts family, led by Tom, purchased the team in 2009.

The 5000 block of North Lawndale Avenue in the Albany Park neighborhood is a beautiful, tree-lined street with closely packed red brick houses. The north end of the block ends in a cul-de-sac that abuts the Chicago River. On nice days, Lisa Easley and her neighbors can access a bike trail and benches along the river, just a few steps from the end of the street. When Easley moved in five years ago, it seemed idyllic. Then came the April rains. The deluge pushed the river over its banks, causing flooding along and around her block.
